BOOK REVIEW: The book review essay will be based upon Bryan Stevenson’s book, Just Mercy. The criteria for writing the essay is also on Pilot under the Content section. The Essay must include citations and should be at least five pages.
Book reviews should be up to 5 pages in length, typed with double-spacing utilizing an essay format with an introduction, body and conclusion. The essay should also have a title page and a bibliography or works cited page at the very end of the essay. The reviews should include
citations (with page numbers!) from the book where necessary and include a works cited page. The reviews should be turned by the deadline after reading the book completely. The first paragraph of the book review should first briefly and clearly introduce the overall thesis of the book and the author’s argument(s) or main points (the main themes of the book). After
introducing the thesis and themes, then describe the organization of the book in the first paragraph.
The rest of the paragraphs in the review should then discuss the various themes in the book
individually with numerous specific, cited examples drawn from the case studies in the text to
support your argument.
Through these numerous case studies, the review should discuss how the issues of race, class ,
the use of the death penalty, juvenile incarceration, gender and incarceration of people with
intellectual disabilities impact the criminal justice system.
In the last paragraph of the review, which is the conclusion, the review, you should now offer
your criticisms or praise of the book. Criticisms can allude to the sources that the author uses, the
theoretical strengths or weaknesses of his or her argument, the logical consistency of his
argument, the writing style, excluded information, factual errors, etc
